    Maybe itā€™s time for some re-branding too, something like a name change to Dennyā€™s, or get some girls in to serve and call it Hooters (all spelt and pronounced with strong Italian accents of course)

    I hope the cartoonists donā€™t plan to show Claireā€™s idea turning out well and ā€œsavingā€ the restaurant.As others have said, in the real world, itā€™s the path to ruin.He has a little jewel of a regional Italian restaurant, that only needs promotion and hopefully a boost from inviting a few food criticsā€¦And heā€™s supposed to waste his time learning to make unfamiliar and incompatible food like falafel or barbecueā€¦. while handing overā€¦and to an inexperienced new hire(!)ā€¦ the responsibility for all the traditional dishes itā€™s taken him 40 years to perfect.

    Anything looks easy when you watch someone who knows what heā€™s doing.

    How the pasta is made, and how the sauce is made, determines if that dish is any good or just a bland substitute.

    Letā€™s hope Claire isnā€™t in charge of either, but only of dishing them up.

    Iā€™m cringingā€¦ what a bad idea and he is too kind and loving to say no. At least this is a comic and no one is personally affected, but stillā€¦p.s. @ comicsssfan ā€“ youā€™re a bit obsessed with the stoveā€¦ I promise you, the ā€œcomic customersā€ will get their food and it will be cooked just fine on whatever stove is drawn.

    sheeshā€¦ you people. Of course itā€™s gonna turn out good. Why would the writers wanna crush their girl (Claire) with failure here? Quit acting like this strip follows some real-life sequence of events. Itā€™s a comic strip. And when I was a kid, I ordered a burger when we went to the chinese restaurant. Best to appeal to more customers with at least a small sampling of alternative food for people in a group that donā€™t happen to like the main faireā€¦more $$$ā€˜s. (LOVE chinese food now that Iā€™m an adult. Donā€™t know what the hell I was thinking! lol).
